I was making a point about the AJN. Yo...Hey Y not Y<br />I was making a point about the AJN. You seem to want to make a point about Rabbi Sherwin Wine. I am not sure what is about him that makes him a "depraved menuval of the worst possible kind" - you seem to imply that his expulsion by goyim is proof of that assertion. The connection escapes me - but I think it's a discussion for another thread.<br /><br />My point is that whilst many contributers to this blog seem to think that the AJN has an anti-orthodox bias, I think they show disregard for most streams of Yiddishkait outside a narrow band. But perhaps you think it doesn't matter in regard to secular Jews?A khavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-19486145586069232712010-06-15T14:43:55.630+10:002010-06-15T14:43:55.630+10:00While khaver's point seem to be that the AJN a...While khaver's point seem to be that the AJN a simply a bunch of ignorant cut-and-pasters rather than journalists of any standard, it is a serious idictment on the Aust Jewish community that they are so accepting of such sub-standard quality.<br /><br />For the onservant community, the arrival of a local edition of Hamodia has been a great boost and it seems to be getting a fair bit of exposure even amongst the irreligious.<br />Their quality of journalism is outstanding even if one doesn't agree with their politics.<br /><br />Someone told me on Shabbos that he gets all the Jewish info he needs from the hamodia and AJN Watch - so you chaps are in good companyNevillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-74689908266144513952010-06-15T14:35:55.841+10:002010-06-15T14:35:55.841+10:00Come on, Khaver...
Sherwin Wine was a depraved men...Come on, Khaver...<br />Sherwin Wine was a depraved menuval of the worst possible kind (Maybe even the AJN agrees - though I'd be surprised)<br />The goyim threw him and 'congregation' out of their premises!<br /><br />Here are a few facts cut and pasted from his Wikipedia entry:<br /><br />Sherwin Theodore Wine) was a rabbi and a founding figure in Humanistic Judaism. Originally ordained a Reform rabbi, In 1969 Wine founded the Society for Humanistic Judaism. ... that emphasizes secular Jewish culture and Jewish history rather than belief in God <br /><br />Wine eventually made the decision to eliminate the word "God" from the services and instead to use new liturgy that extolled Jewish history, culture, and ethical values. <br />The Detroit Free Press ran an article in December 1964 with the headline "Suburban Rabbi: 'I Am an Atheist.'" <br />The Masonic temple in Birmingham in which the congregation was meeting at the time, expelled the group early in 1965 because it had rejected God. The congregation, purchased land in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and moved into a newly-constructed building in 1971. The Torah scroll was placed in the library rather than at the usual place in the sanctuary. Instead, the sanctuary was adorned with a large sculpture <br />Prayers and references to God are excluded from the services even for these holidays.<br />Unlike other streams of Judaism, Humanistic Judaism does not condemn or discourage intermarriage, and its clergy are happy to officiate at weddings between Jews and non-Jews. <br /><br />On July 21, 2007, Wine and his longtime life partner Richard McMains were in a taxicab headed to a hotel from dinner in Essaouira, Morocco, when their cab was hit by another vehicle. Both Wine and the taxi driver were killed instantly in the car crash. McMains survived the collision although he was seriously injured in the crash.<br /><br />Comparing that oysvurf (You obviously know your Yiddish) to a holy Jew like Rabbi Eliyahu is an insult.

But I suspect that the blog-master and most of your readers are so unfamiliar with the full breadth of Jewish life that you aren't aware (and perhaps don't care) that the AJN has a strong track record of ignoring or demeaning secular Jewish life. (Indeed I am aware that many of you think that is a tautology. An argument for another day). <br />So by way of direct comparison with the passing of Rabbi Eliyahu, the death of Rabbi Sherwin Wine only received a one paragraph mention on page 30-something and the death of Marek Edelman didn't even mention that he was a Bundist despite him having lived his whole life as a member and basing all his activity on those ideals.<br />My point ... don't blame on malicious intent, that which can be blamed on incompetency. The latter is far more likely.A khavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-79521683202685688412010-06-13T14:48:29.910+10:002010-06-13T14:48:29.910+10:00And what do make of the fact that on eof the oldes...And what do make of the fact that on eof the oldest Jews in the world (biz 120) arrives on our shore, 105-year=old Rav Kopelman shlita, who continues to actively run the Lucerne Yeshiva giving shiurim and beiung involved with all its facets, and what does the AJN have to say about it?<br /><br />Zero, zilch, gornisht!!<br /><br />Great newspaper, no?AJN - Anti Jewish Newsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-7654826878952698572010-06-13T02:42:23.563+10:002010-06-13T02:42:23.563+10:00I once heard someone comment about the Jewish News...I once heard someone comment about the Jewish News: "If Moshe Rabeinu came down from Mount Sinai these days with the 10 Commandments, they would have a 4-line report on page 17 saying "Ultra-orthodox rabbi bans adultery"Hamodia fannoreply@blogger.com
